Re. Y2K expense...... More....short answer. Longer answer: My biggest expense for Y2K is the cost of consultants and for staff time to check every programable controller and computer in the business. Y2K will accelerate the trashing of some old 386's and force people to learn software other than that which will only run on 386's. The overall impact is to add 5-10% to hardware and the same cost for software upgrades. Programable controllers are mission critical in my business, PC's are not. My IT and Finance guy would choke if they saw this.....but that's the way it is IMO.
